After playing in 8 minis beginning in March of this year and twice advancing to a semi-final table, I finally made it to the money table. While all the high-level action was going on at the Hilton MDIII this past Saturday I was at Boulder Station vying for 1st place money of $1250.
On the last hand I was BR2 with 5 players still at the table and only three of us in contention for the top three places. I was second to bet, behind BR3 and ahead of BR1. With only a 150 difference between 2nd and 3rd place money but a 900 difference between 1st and 3rd, instead of playing to keep BR2 I opted to go for a possible win with a max bet. As the hand played out I hit 14 vs dealer 10, busting and finishing third.
I wish to express my gratitude, first to Ken for creating and maintaining this site, and also to Ken and all of you more advanced players who are regular contributors to these postings for graciously sharing with us newbies the benefits gained from your years of playing experience. Absent the knowledge acquired here and from Ken’s strategy articles, I’m sure I would be just winging it without a clue as to any kind of informed play.
May all your cards be aces and faces. [Unless I’m at the table, in which case it is: May your position at the table be…Always to the right of me!
